So one time at "the bank" someone put an entry in the /etc/hosts table that was something like this...

192.168.1.5       192.168.1.9

And you can imagine the problems that ensued as people could not ever ping the right box.

Had something that wasn't intentional happen when a printer company changed a printer, and put the IP address of the gateway as the new IP of the printer, didn't notice straight away why the internet access was a bit flaky...that was a funny one..

@scottalanmiller haha I like that one

@dustinb3403 They should of branched off another version called "Windows Idiotfied Edition" and left it how it was for businesses and people that actually use their machine for practical work.

That's the branch they have now.

Very true!

Have you ever played practical computer jokes on your fellow IT colleagues?

A favourite of mine was to screenshot the background and set this as the background picture and then remove all icons on desktop, watching them getting frustrated with their constant double clicking of icons was quite amusing.

Another one was putting the shutdown command on their browser icon....

Of course these jokes were only for fellow IT colleagues and not users obviously.....

I prefer the start menu in windows 7 as well, the start menu in windows 10 is just horrid. Just things in windows 10 seems like a longer process, like changing network adaptor settings... more clicks involved...
